    Even for Japanese companies, Nintendo is really aggressive, but also in the spaces they probably lose under US Law but wouldn't under Japanese Law. There's a very definite "screw it, you won't put up the fight" aspect to their actions.
     
    At the scale Nintendo actually has to defend their IP, they aren't wrong. (LTT has how many videos on Retro Game playing devices? Which means Nintendo ROMs.) It's just they hit basically everyone hard unless they have a large fanbase. Because they're Image Conscious and don't take public criticism well.

    contacting linus personally, and resolving it quietly. is the exact opposite of "proper journalistic practices", what an absolute narcasistic arrogant buffoon

    Specifically responding to this and while I don't expect a reply, this just is an excuse to me.
     
    How many times have you done something extreme just for the sake of doing it? Or because you wanted the absolute best price be damned?

    You shouldn't have accepted the review if you weren't going to at least commit to doing it right. If you weren't comfortable with the expense of doing it right, then you should have declined.

    What camera/device do you have? This tells you what calss of card to get as there is no point in getting a uhs-ii card for a uhs-i device
     
    Ive been pretty happy with Sandisk, but all cards can fail at any time. Any of the big brands fron a good retailer(I'd stay away from marketplaces like amazon) is likely fine

    Thanks, I really wanted a train in that sunset but it was super delayed.
    I don't crop my photos till I pick what platform they are going on so most of the ones I share here are just the full shot.
    I tend to embrace some noise in my photos, Fuji color science and filter pattern makes it look a lot more like film grain. I also need to be at ISO800 and above to get the most DR.
     
    Feels very sterile, I almost want a funky lens or filter to make it seem less perfect
     
     
    I'm going to do 3 edits of the same image. Again I really embraced the grain here

    GDRRiley reacted to leadeater in WHAT did I just BUY on Facebook Marketplace??   
    They can 🙂
     
    Once you take the NetApp controller out of the equation they are just SAS disk enclosures with nothing special about them at all. Since SAS is compatible with SATA it just works but only the primary data path, no dual pathing and redundancy supported so in larger bay count enclosure you need to connect both data ports and half the disks will show on one cable and the other half on the other cable. Unless it's a much bigger enclosure with a SAS expander but then that's getting in to details most here don't need to be hit with unless they ask.
     
    All you need to use these is a SAS card with external SAS ports and you're good to go.

    @LinusTech @jakkuh_t You should have (just kidding) asked me since we're one of, maybe the biggest or was at one point, Netapp customers in my country.
     
    FYI NetApp is not hardware RAID, that's wrong. NetApp is nearly identical to ZFS (to the point they had nerd fights with each other over who stole what). Those batteries are for the NVDIMM in the controllers. The controllers have NVDIMM as well as read cache cards (now NVMe SSDs for read cache).
     
    The RAID Groups are "vdevs" and the RAID Groups (vdevs) are added to Aggregates which are the same as ZFS Pools. For simplicity sake you can literally think of and talk about NetApp as if it were ZFS and you'd be 80% or better correct.
     
    All those JBODs are missing their second IOM module (SAS interface controller) which makes the JBOD fully redundant and you could lose up to 3 PSUs without loss of access to any disks in it (SAS disks only!).
     
    Overall C- on the technical details 😅

    While the colors look nice everything is quite soft and has quite a bit of noise. The small sensor with high MP count isn't doing so well.
